Bento Boxes

I made a bento box for my lunch today and it was delicious.



My box includes quorn and spring onion fritters, broccoli, heat shaped carrots, apple, grapes, a coconut and taro cake, strawberry jelly, two edo chocolates, a pocky pot and a sugar cane drink.

That was actually a pencil case I used, but I've just bought this really cute bento box off ebay:



I would have made one for tomorrow, but Tesco closed really early because it's a bank holiday Happy

I don't think it's a particularly special Bank Holiday, just some local holiday of sorts.

Even if you can only get a cheap, boring bento box, you could decorate it with Hello Kitty and make it pretty.

I have this huge oriental supermarket around the corner from my flat, it's huge and sells all kinds of cool food. I think it's the biggest oriental supermarket in Scotland.

It was more of a tapas style bento.

Cool, I see you used your new bento box! Happy
I was looking them up on ebay and there are so many accessories to go with them- picks, dividers,sauce bottles,etc. I especially loved a mini sauce bottle that were little red apples with cute faces on them.
I have my eyes on a pretty hello kitty bento box. I don't usually eat lunch but I reckon these bento boxes could change my mind!
You have to type in bento boxes on google and click on the flickr link, people have posted pictures of their bento boxes and they go all out with them, they decorate their food- one girl had rice with pretty flowers on top made fom pices of capsicum!

this site is really good but based in America but that usually means it's actually cheaper even with international postage

I want this one
